British?

Yes

Ok so it's an English-speaking British actor who died in the second half of the 20th century, aged over 50, who was never nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, and who didn't appear in any James Bond film.

That doesn't give us much room to get this right.

Please be careful when asking the remaining questions, peeps.

Edited for complete summary.

SIX questions remain.

I guess John Young.

Incorrect

To my fellow guessers: we could narrow it down by film genre, birth/death year... What do you think?

Hmmm... we would have to word our questions keeping in mind that fact that many actors are skilled orvactivevin different genres. I do not think that narrowing the year is worth using our remaining questions.

@damo : is the actor primarily known for comic roles?
